I am getting weary of the same walk, over and over. Once we get to spring, this may be different - but there seems little to focus on, to lift the spirits when out and about just now, other than my step count.
And so it was today, the whole of Bedford seemed out to walk by the river and the country park, and it was a case of dodging the oncomers and putting the mask on again in an attempt to feel secure.
Aside of that, the amount of litter around is phenomenal and spoils the enjoyment of the walk. This is partly due to the recent flooding with debris being left behind as the water receded, and party due to the increased traffic. It seems that an essential component to walking out nowadays is a take-a-way coffee in a disposable cup. Many of these are discarded along the way.
So, despite another squelshy and watery walk in my wellingtons - and this time with my husband - I returned with little on the camera to excite me. It seemed as if the greys and dirty greens have been with us for weeks without a hint of blue.
But when I looked back at my casually attempted ICMs of reflected trees in the river from just two days ago, I was astonished that I could have enjoyed such blues without even stopping to fully appreciate them.
Which is what I am doing now.
Must learn to accentuate the positives in life more readily.
It's hard, isn't it? Each day seems the same, sounds the same and mostly looks the same. This is a lovely capture and I'm glad you're enjoying it now Helen.
Ohhh, this is a beautiful blue! I'm glad you felt able to eventually appreciate it...that's a step in the right direction. Reminders to concentrate on the good are always welcome, so I'm grateful for your commentary. Thank you. :)
